I actually did take him to court although we settled without seeing a judge. In texas child support is pretty standard. It's a percent of the fathers income. I'm struggling to figure out how to make ends meet even with child support and was just curious joe much other mommas get. My sister up in Chicago gets 1,500 per month for her son and another 1,500 per Month for her daughter. But she has two different bd and had to pay lawyers thousands of dollars to fight for that kind of child support.

Do you really think I'm purposely letting him get away with anything? It's ordered. Child support goes through the probation office. They are aware he isn't paying. Allegedly they have or will put out a warrant for his arrest. If he is able to dodge them there is nothing I can do. Would you like me to hold a gun to his head? Stop being so effing judgemental.

System in Canada isn't much better. My ex bd is $35,000 in rears and they can't find him. He has cars, a house, a apartment, tons of everything but can't be found as he put everything in his gfs name and that's not connected to him. And the rears go up $350 each month.

My first two are w/ my ex husband, and the amount was determined using the child support calculator my state has available on their website. My daughter's father is a pos but I calculated it out using the same method just out of curiosity. 650 a month for 18 years comes out to over 140k, and I consider never having to deal with that psycho worth every penny.

Oh lime, you just don't get it do you? Even if you go through child support enforcement, he quits paying, and they put out a warrant, nobody goes to find them. That department is so overworked and underpaid they don't have time to go find everyone. My friend's bd was supposed to be paying child support in court, didn't pay a dime, put a warrant out, and they couldn't find him even when I said "he works here, I will take you to him." Even if they garnish his wages, it takes months for them to find him in the system, and that's only if they're getting paid legally.

We just chose not to go to court. It was so much more difficult than just working it out ourselves. He sees LO once or twice a week but has no custody established and isn't on the birth certificate. We used the California child support calculator. But that was when I was employed. Now that I'm unemployed, I'd get a lot more. Everyone's situation is different I guess.

56.00 a month for my youngest, and not a damn thing for my older two. 56.00 will cover diapers and wipes, baby soap and diaper paste. Not even any left over for clothes, food or even new toys, men are sad creatures.
